He might be my least favorite 4th liner I can remember that is supposed to be a grinder. Can't fault guys like Satan, even though he played well in that role in 2009, or Beranek, but he did well, but even going back to Buchberger, Eastwood, Wallace, Etc a glass just doesn't look good on this team. Might be bst to trade for another guy not fitting.

We already knew this.

I didn't.

Super streaky in Dallas, was colder than the North Pole when he first got here then caught fire when playing with an elite player. We already knew Neal wasn't the guy that made things happen but the guy who could fit right into a very good to elite players line.
